Village Living, Countryside Views & Modern Family Space

Tucked away on one of Tottington’s most sought-after roads, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home offers the perfect balance between village charm and modern family living. Positioned on a quiet, non-through road with a strong sense of community, Claybank Drive is known for its safety, long-standing neighbours, and semi-rural setting - where countryside walks begin at your doorstep and wildlife is part of everyday life.

Just a short stroll from Tottington Village, excellent schools, and scenic routes leading towards Affetside, this home combines tranquillity with convenience. With easy access to Bury, Ramsbottom, and wider transport links, it truly delivers the best of both worlds.

Welcome Home

Approaching along this quiet, family-friendly road, the property sits set back behind a smart, block-paved driveway, offering parking for two cars alongside an attached garage. From here, there are glimpses of the surrounding landscape, with elevated views towards Peel Tower reflecting the home’s position on the edge of open countryside.

Step inside into a bright and welcoming hallway, where herringbone-style engineered wood flooring flows underfoot, adding warmth and texture. The layout opens naturally from here, with access into the main living room, where soft neutral tones and plush carpeting create a comfortable retreat. The staircase rises neatly to one side, maintaining a sense of openness.

Space Designed for Family Life

The ground floor has been thoughtfully transformed with a full-width rear extension, creating a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that forms the heart of the home. It is a space designed for modern family life, equally suited to everyday routines and entertaining.

Natural light pours in through four Velux skylights and an impressive wall of 6m bi-fold doors. During warmer months, the doors open fully to extend the living space out onto the patio and garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

Engineered wood flooring runs throughout, complemented by carefully considered lighting that brings a softer atmosphere in the evening. The layout is well balanced, offering defined areas for dining, relaxing, and cooking without losing the open feel.

A Chesneys Shoreditch wood-burning stove with integrated log store provides a striking focal point within the living area, adding both character and warmth during the cooler months.

The bespoke kitchen is both stylish and practical, centred around a generous quartz-topped island with integrated storage, sink, dishwasher, and breakfast seating. It naturally becomes a gathering point for family and guests alike. A Rangemaster Toledo range cooker is set within sleek cabinetry, alongside integrated appliances that complete the space.

To the front of the property, a separate living room offers a quieter setting, ideal for relaxing away from the main living space. A large window draws in natural light, while the neutral décor creates a calm and inviting atmosphere.

The utility room is designed with practicality in mind, featuring a bespoke dog wash/shower and direct side access, perfect after countryside walks. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Comfort & Practicality Upstairs

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a bright landing, with soft carpeting and a neutral palette creating a calm and cohesive feel.

The principal bedroom is a particularly comfortable space, enhanced by a feature wall that adds depth while maintaining a restful atmosphere. There is ample room for freestanding furniture, and the outlook reflects the home’s peaceful setting. It is served by a private en-suite shower room for added convenience.

The remaining bedrooms are versatile and well presented, suitable for children, guests, or home working. Each room adapts easily to changing needs, making the layout ideal for growing families.

The family bathroom is bright and functional, fitted with a bath and overhead shower, pedestal basin, and WC. A window with shutters allows for both privacy and natural light.

Outdoor Living with a View

The south-facing rear garden is a standout feature, offering a private and peaceful setting with elevated views across open countryside. It’s the kind of space that invites you to slow down, whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee in the sun or unwinding in the evening while taking in the ever-changing views.

Landscaped around five years ago, the garden has been thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with a generous paved seating area perfect for outdoor dining and a lawn that enjoys sunlight throughout the day.

The rear boundary has been positioned to make the most of the outlook, where horses graze, sheep wander, and even deer are occasional visitors, creating a unique connection to the surrounding countryside.

To the front, recent sleeper landscaping enhances the approach, while the garage provides additional storage, complete with power, water, and useful eaves space.
